[PATCH v2 0/7] Copy hashmap to tools/perf/util, use in perf expr

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Fri May 15 2020 - 12:50:15 EST


Perf's expr code currently builds an array of strings then removes
duplicates. The array is larger than necessary and has recently been
increased in size. When this was done it was commented that a hashmap
would be preferable.

libbpf has a hashmap but libbpf isn't currently required to build
perf. To satisfy various concerns this change copies libbpf's hashmap
into tools/perf/util, it then adds a check in perf that the two are in
sync.

Andrii's patch to hashmap from bpf-next is brought into this set to
fix issues with hashmap__clear.

Two minor changes to libbpf's hashmap are made that remove an unused
dependency and fix a compiler warning.

Two perf test changes are also brought in as they need refactoring to
account for the expr API change and it is expected they will land
ahead of this.

Tested with 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.

The hashmap change was originally part of an RFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200508053629.210324-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

v2. moves hashmap into tools/perf/util rather than libapi, to allow
hashmap's libbpf symbols to be visible when built statically for
testing.

Andrii Nakryiko (1):
libbpf: Fix memory leak and possible double-free in hashmap__clear

Ian Rogers (6):
libbpf hashmap: Remove unused #include
libbpf hashmap: Fix signedness warnings
tools lib/api: Copy libbpf hashmap to tools/perf/util
perf test: Provide a subtest callback to ask for the reason for
skipping a subtest
perf test: Improve pmu event metric testing
perf expr: Migrate expr ids table to a hashmap
